ESRA has partnered with Spaceport America, the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport located in southern New Mexico, to offer academia and industry a unique opportunity to collaborate, compete and inspire the next generation of aerospace engineers and scientists. Beginning in 2017, ESRA's Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) will become the flagship activity of a new annual event called the Spaceport America Cup (SA Cup).
There are plans to build on the SA Cup, adding not only more college level events, but events for industry and even high schools. Although we will be focusing on the IREC portion this first year, there will be exciting new activities emerging as early as 2018.
